Update on Campus Microsoft Licensing for Faculty and Staff - 8/15/2023

To comply with Microsoft licensing requirements, you might notice a slight difference in Office 365 product access. While our academic licensing covers active faculty and staff, we have also managed to secure licenses that enable ongoing email, web-based application access, and online file storage, even during times when you may not be actively teaching or working at Creighton. This means that you can always stay connected and productive, though you may not always have access to downloaded applications.

Cost

Microsoft 365 is provided for students, faculty and staff at no charge; however, there are differences in what is included.  Please review the chart below for specifics.

How to get it

All students, faculty and staff have access to Microsoft 365 with their NetID and Blue Password. Go to https://portal.office.com/ and login.
